UPDATE: CBS has also added a new CSI title to their lineup. CSI: Cyber, starring Patricia Arquette as a cyber crimes investigator, has been picked up.

It's CBS' turn for brand new series news, as the major network has picked up a new version of The Odd Couple starring Friends alum Matthew Perry as Oscar and comedian Tom Lennon (most recently of Sean Saves the World on NBC) as Felix.

Spinoff NCIS: New Orleans is also a go, starring Scott Bakula, whose character already appeared in a backdoor pilot episode of regular ol' NCIS.

Nikita's Maggie Q and American Horror Story's Dylan McDermott headline Kevin Williamson's (Scream, The Following) new thriller, Stalker, about a pair of detectives who handle stalking cases for the LAPD.

Still three more shows to go here as CBS has also picked up Scorpion, Madam Secretary, and The McCarthys.

Scorpion, from Alex Kurtzman/Roberto Orci and based on the life of genius Walter O'Brien, stars Smash's Katharine McPhee and Elyes Gabel (Rakharo on Game of Thrones).

The political drama Madam Secretary stars Tea Leoni as a pulls-no-punches secretary of state and the multi-camera comedy The McCarthys (which apparently was a 2013 project, now with a mostly new cast) stars New Kids on the Block's Joey McIntyre, Roseanne's Laurie Metcalf and Jack McGee as members of a loud Boston family.
